Hundreds of shoppers turned out for the reopening of the Aldi store in Cambridge this morning, which opened its doors at 8am.

Bargain-hunters massed outside the store in a bid to be among the first 100 shoppers at the Cambridge store's grand reopening today.

Some shoppers camped overnight to be among the first through the doors this morning (Thursday, September 22).

By 8am a swathe of shoppers massed outside the Histon Road supermarket, hoping to get their hands on a golden envelope, handed out by store manager James Huett.

Other shoppers, it seemed, were happy just to have a nose around the revamped store, the absence of which left traumatised bargain-hunters having to browse the aisles of rival supermarkets, leading to the establishment of the Cambridge Aldi Shoppers Support Group.
